I have used a printed sentiment on the front of my gatefold card cut with my spellbinders fancy oval die, DP are from Bearlymine Designs 'Floral Breeze and simply dots' Flowers are from Fred She Said with a few added pearls finishing off with CheeryLynn corners and die cut butterflies

I Just want to add I have had some health issues I had to get sorted out hence I've been a little quiet in blogland, now its time for my annual holiday so will not be around much but please keep popping in I have my posts scheduled..I will be thinking of you all while I'm sitting on a sunny beach in the med LOL!!

Firstly I printed the 2 required sheets from the gatefold section on the cd and cut them out.......I'm afraid I dont always do what it says on the box LOL!! I am making an Easel card today.

I have folded my first Kraft card with 2 mountain folds and cut the other Kraft card in half this will be the card base.

I have matted and layered all my printed pieces onto the black and gold card.

Using double sided tape I have attached to base card.

As you can see I have decorated the front of the card adding the mesh and card candy.

This is now ready to be assembled

I am sure we all do this in our own way , but I am going to show you how I do it.

I turn over my base card on the wrong side, on the bottom section as you can see I have added the double sided tape to just below my mountain fold, at this point I also add some tacky glue to give it an extra strong hold.

Now its time to layer the front of the card to the bottom layer,

by placing directly on top.... bottom to bottom

I find this an easy way to keep the card straight

The card is now assembled with a nice neat finish.

At this point I have added a paper bow made using left over papers from the same cd but from an earlier project ( nothing goes to waste in my craft room!)

I also added the sentiments

Just a reminder ladies everything thing that is printed came from the cd.

Phew!! I dont know how many photos I have taken of this card..its white on white the glitter is showing up pinkish but it is white on the card!! urghh!!

The base card is embossed using my ebosser and I have used my nestabilities to make the lattice window and a go Kreate arch die for the frame which I have hardly used and had for over 12 months, Image is of course Kenny K coloured with promarkers and her dress is glittered, flowers all from my stash as are the crystal pins, finishing off with a bow,sentiment, and a die cut butterfly with pearls.
